What your bath or shower is made of matters
Sinks and worktops
Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, with the joint fully dried first.
Shower trays
We put weight on a tray before sealing it, for the same reason.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store bottles on a shelf
- Let steam out after showers
- Dry the seal after bathing
- Reseal when black spots won’t clean off
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use to keep mould away.
Reseal before water gets in. Gaps or lifting edges mean it needs doing.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes around two hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is protected and the joints masked.
- We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
- We clean, treat and dry the joint.
- We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Hemel Hempstead questions
Why does my sealant keep going mouldy?
Damp is the cause. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you seal over the old sealant?
We always remove the old sealant completely. New silicone won’t bond to old.
How long does resealing take?
A bath or shower usually takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What affects the price in Hemel Hempstead
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hemel Hempstead. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
